| Roger Tincknell has been performing for
children and adults throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe for over
20 years. His strong, expressive vocal styles and masterful instrumental
skills bring a warmth and versatility to his performances. With over
twelve years as a classroom teacher and music specialist in his background,
Roger has also worked as an Artist-in-Residence, pioneering programs
in multicultural education and special needs curriculum development.
Roger has numerous recordings for children and adults,
including multicultural, environmental, and family albums. Roger's
repertoire includes original and contemporary material, as well
as traditional folk styles. Ballads, country swing, bluegrass,
and yodeling are interspersed with Latin American and international
folksongs. Roger accompanies himself on a variety of musical
instruments, including guitar, banjo, mandolin, bazouki, harmonica,
and piano.
"Roger has played
the Iron Horse regularly since its doors opened in 1979. His
shows are marked by an engaging informality and have a very
broad-based appeal. As much as he lightens the evening with
yodels and sing-alongs, he also brings it back home with craftsmanly
interpretations of the finest songs in the contemporary folk
repertoire. Roger's warmth and good humor make for uncanny audience
rapport."
